AG: "I have spoken to a British official who was involved in the preparation of the dossier, and he told me that until the week before it was published, the draft dossier produced by the intelligence services added little to what was already publicly known. He said:

Voiceover: "It was transformed in the week before it was published, to make it sexier. The classic example was the statement that weapons of mass destruction were ready for use within 45 minutes. That information was not in the original draft. It was included in the dossier against our wishes, because it wasn't reliable. Most things in the dossier were double source, but that was single source, and we believed that the source was wrong."

AG: Now this official told us that the transformation... took place at the behest of Downing Street, and he added:

Voiceover: "Most people in intelligence weren't happy with the dossier, because it didn't reflect the considered view they were putting forward."

AG: "...Now the 45 minutes really is not just a detail, it did go to the heart of the ... case that Saddam was an imminent threat, and it was repeated a further three times in the body of the dossier, and I understand the parliamentary intelligence and security committee is going to conduct an inquiry into the claims made by the British government...
